Frequently Asked Questions

How do I figure out which problem I have?

Start with the symptom — stain color, smell, taste, or what's breaking — and follow the links here. Then confirm with testing: symptoms overlap, and half of good treatment design is correctly naming the problem.

Can one system fix several problems?

Usually — well systems especially are built as treatment trains: oxidation, filtration, softening, disinfection and polishing in the right order. That's why we design from a full water analysis instead of stacking single-purpose gadgets.
